I have to make a 40th B-day cake for this saturday, for about 30 people. It's for a mother of twin girls, who is not overly girly, so I'd prefer nothing flowery, but I'm stumped. I was thinking maybe some kind of outdoorsy theme. Any ideas or pics would be GREATLY appreciated

Well I have seen some that are done in flower pots. It has flowers poking out of the top as it it was a flower pot and then the pot is the cake. That way it is outdoor like but not that girly.

You can look in my profile at a cake I did. It is two tiered, with a green, white, and pink color scheme. I made her name, SARA, out of melted chocolates and placed on top. It was for a lady's 30th Birthday.

I've got a couple of flower pot cakes in my photos - that's a pretty neat idea and they are pretty easy to make also.
You could also do a gift box cake....
Please post end results

I love the cakes done with fondant applications of various sized circles and dots in assorted colors. Depending on the color choice, I think those are suitable for just about anybody.

Same thing for fondant stripes.
